The Boeing Company is hiring a Site Reliability Product Owner for the Daybreak Team located in Seattle, WA. This role focuses on Boeing Defense Services (BDS) and leads the end-to-end release engineering and operational sustainment for a multi-application software portfolio across multiple missions. You will own release coordination, the bug and fix lifecycle, customer and leadership approvals, incident command, and post-incident reporting.
What You'll Do
- Oversee end-to-end release engineering and sustainment for a multi-application portfolio supporting multiple missions.
- Own release control processes: scheduling, versioning, change control, approvals, and authoritative configuration and deployment records.
- Coordinate and compile release packages; validate release candidates through operational and enterprise testing and facilitate development activities into operational environments.
- Track, verify, and communicate bug and fix status across the portfolio and obtain customer and multi-level leadership sign-offs prior to deployments.
- Define, implement, and maintain environment monitoring and observations across all environments, including real-time system health, anomaly detection, and alerting.
- Design and maintain environment monitoring dashboards, application monitoring, and APM monitoring tools with proactive thresholds.
- Manage on-call scheduling and incident response; serve as incident commander during outages, lead diagnostics and mitigation, and prepare and present executive incident slide decks and after-action reports.
- Instrument and track release and operational KPIs (deployment frequency, lead time, change success rate, MTTR) and drive continuous improvement.
- Automate deployment, rollback, and recovery workflows using Python and cloud-native tooling to reduce manual effort and MTTR.
- Advise on signal-processing algorithm behavior and cloud operations at scale to interpret anomalous outputs and recommend corrective actions.
- Coordinate supplier management and cross-functional team activities to ensure release readiness, quality, and contractual compliance.
- Maintain and update operational runbooks, playbooks, and run-to-failure/response procedures; train and mentor junior SWE staff.
- Support research into emerging technologies and contribute technical inputs for proposals, bids, and future architecture planning.
- Serve as the primary Boeing representative to the customer enterprise for release and sustainment matters.

- 1+ years of experience with Engineering Releases.
- 1+ years of experience in managing product backlog, writing user stories, and managing releases.
